I was talking about the digging. Razor clams are dug out of pure sand on the ocean beaches here in Wa and Or st. You find their hole and place your shovel (which is a short handled device with an elongated shovel) between the hole and the water. You have to act very quickly because as soon as you start digging the clam immediately digs down deeper into the sand. It is really a comical sight to see someone dig a razor clam with a shovel. Some people cheat and use what is called a clam gun. After you (hopefully) catch your limit you go back to your place, take a shower and dry off because you usually get soaked to the bones by the oncoming tide and/or rain and prepare your clams. kamperswest.com My grandmother was a commercial razor clam digger during the great depression and a picture of her digging clams still adorns the postcards sold in gift shops up and down the coast. I couldn't have been luckier than to have been taught to dig clams by her......a real family tradition. The other type of clam we find here are the butter or steamer clams.......not to mention the Geoduck......the largest known clam in the world and primarily used for chowders. They are all found in the Puget Sound and must be dug from under rocks and sand. I've never heard of cooking them in seaweed. M
